How many times have you dropped your dinner plate

luvmyteddy4 · ‎09-04-2010

on the floor with your dinner on it?

I was looking forward to my nice porkchop, gravy and salad today. I was coming around the corner and for some reason I bent over and watched my whole plate hit the carpet.

I think that's the first time I've ever dropped a whole dinner. A cookie maybe once or twice. 5 second rule

I could cry! I was cleaning up the mess and couldn't find the porkchop and hoped the kitties didn't get it but I found it in the trashcan.

No way to save any of it.

@luvmyteddy4. So sorry for you lost plate. I never did that but would cry if I did since I only rarely cook real food these days.

I dropped a WHOLE ROAST once. So, I rinsed it off, and put it back on the platter.

@luvmyteddy4, you are not alone. I have done it more than once. Last time it was a plate of lasagna all over the carpet.

I have never dropped a dinner plate or any plate of food, but I dump my drink a few times a month.

My husband insists on watching TV in the dark with the light on from the TV. I dump the drink over while trying to locate the glass.

The last time I did it was last evening, and the glass was full. I am thinking about using a sippy cup.

I slipped on some stairs while trying to hold on to a tray full of food at a restaurant one time. Plates with food went flyin' as I tried to conceal my embarrassment in a room full of people.

I dropped the Thanksgiving turkey once bc it was too heavy for me to lift out of the oven & balance it. I tossed it in the trash, & we had turkey for Christmas that year instead.

I did drop my full dinner plate on the dining room tile floor once. It was on purpose. That's all I'll say about that.

Oh that stinks, so sorry that happened.

Could it have been your wrist? I was just thinking how after 17 months since breaking my ankle that it's only been a few months where I feel it is stable again and pretty much back to pre-break. That's over a year for me to feel normal and confident when walking, climbing stairs etc.

Drop a plate of food? Never. I always place my plate, side dishes, linens and silverware on a gorgeous tray. I have a few and like to use different ones in different seasons.

Sometimes I remove it all on the table and sometimes, if watching a show, leave it all on the tray. This is what I've done when there are animals underfoot, and I prefer to avoid accidents.

There are some very pretty trays out there.
